"Who said that?" said William with a smug grin. Antonio looked at William in confusion.
"William, but you're just saying that you're going to send Emma back to America?"
William scoffed at his words.
"I would never in my dream send Emma away from me"
Antonio's eyes widened in shock.
"WHAT? So, it's all just a charade"
He looked at her in disbelief. But William grinned and nodded.
"You know Antonio, my Emma is so cute and innocent. When she told me that she was afraid of me, I couldn't believe it. I love him so much but I don't want him to be afraid of me. That's why I decided to do a little drama to get her trust back," she replied in a calm voice.
Antonio suddenly lost his composure and rebuked him angrily.
"This is the limit, William. You played with his emotions. You think this whole thing is just a joke? Have you ever wondered what would happen if Emma found out about all this? How badly will he get hurt? Are you crazy or what?"
William immediately looked at him with a deathly gaze and spat.
"I think I warned you not to interfere in my personal life, right?"
Antonio shook his head in disappointment.
"Alright, I won't say anything. But remember, toying with his heart and feelings is not good William. You'll regret this. I warned you"
He then looked at William who was staring outwards William looked at Antonio with emotion. His words sounded clear in his ears but did not affect his heart. He scoffs and throws his face away.
Antonio then sighed heavily to calm his emotions. He then looked at William who was staring out the window while enjoying the view.
"I guess you haven't told her about her best friend?"
William shook his head while still staring outwards.
"But what about the evidence? I'm sure the CIA must have evidence against you. What are you gonna do?"
William suddenly looked at her. He grinned evilly which confused Antonio.
"Don't worry. He'll take care of it."

At CIA Headquarters, America
9:00 in the morning
Noah barged into the Head's office while slamming the door behind him with a loud thud.
It took three months for him to recover completely. Leon is still unconscious. Doctors have told Noah that Leon is still in a coma and is very unlikely to wake up any time soon. His brain was severely damaged and his entire body was paralyzed.
Noah is furious with Vincent's decision to get him out of the CIA. This decision was very against his wishes and completely unfair as he was no ordinary secret agent. As the best agent and the most skilled and experienced officer, Noah was unable to digest this great humiliation well.
Noah is well aware that Vincent doesn't like him. But he has no doubt that Vincent would much rather see William behind bars. He has seen how frustrated Vincent is whenever they fail in their mission to capture the Mafia.
So, what made him suddenly change his decision to capture the Mafia?
Vincent was sitting in his chair reading a file. He looked up and heard a loud angry scream.
"VALENTINO!!"
Noah shouted with a thunderous growl while his entire body was blazing.
"Noah Miller, what are you doing here?", Vincent looked at him with a sharp gaze.
Noah smacked his fist furiously at the table while glaring at him with red eyes.
"WHAT AM I DOING? WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? YOU CAN'T CLOSE THIS CASE AND YOU DON'T HAVE THE POWER TO FIRE ME, OKAY?"
He screamed with all his might while Vincent continued to stare at him blankly.
Vincent then grinned and stood up from his chair. He put his hand in his pocket as he approached Noah slowly.
Noah raised his eyebrows as Vincent walked towards him, "First of all, I can fire you because I'm the BOSS.
Noah raised his eyebrows while walking towards him with threatening steps.
"The reason?", he frowned with clenched jaws.
"Sorry, it's not in the mood" Vincent replied, shrugging his shoulders.
Noah's blood boiled with anger. He grabbed her by the collar and shouted at her.
"DON'T TELL ME YOU'VE STARTED WORKING FOR HIM"
"What if I say yes?"
Noah looked at her with wide eyes. His grip on his collar slowly loosened. He was surprised, completely surprised.
But how could this possibly happen?
Noah grinned at the panicked look on his face.
Then suddenly, the door opened and revealed its only...
William Knights Along with Jennifer and Katherine, Noah is shocked. He did not understand what was going on in front of him. He kept staring at them with wide eyes because he thought the two girls were dead, then how could they all stand in front of him and even smile at him?
She kept staring at Katherine and Jennifer because she felt betrayed. Suddenly a loud clapping caught his attention.
William was standing right behind him. Noah looked back and stared intently at William who was smiling maliciously at him while clapping.
"Gosh, what do we got here, Agent 001 or should I say former Secret Agent? A man who is loyal and dedicated to his work. The 'Artful Avoidant'... How can you not recognize your traitor? Say something, Mr. Millerite. The audience wants answers"
William smirked arrogantly. Noah turned his gaze toward Vincent.
"What's with all this?"
He asked in a hoarse voice as he was completely shocked but he tried to remain calm.
Vincent grinned.
"Look, Noah, William and I have been friends since High School. I knew he was a Mafia and in love with Emma. I know all his illegal activities but I'm quiet because..."
"Because?"
Noah repeated while pointing a dagger at him.
"I'm a Black Swan spy working for the CIA.
"WHAT?"
Noah stunned. He was really confused by the answer. He kept looking at her with round eyes.
"He's my man" William spoke from behind making Noah shocked. He looked at her confused.
"But how? This is impossible"
William chuckled at his words with Vincent while Noah continued to stare at the two brown-haired men in shock.
"Didn't you remember, I always looked up to Emma and you"
"DIAM-", Noah growls at William but suddenly stops halfway when he wakes up.
He recalled what William had said to him the day the explosion happened.
"You know that I can also feel the next step with my eyes closed"
Vincent: Besides, he always keeps an eye on Emma. He could feel his next move even with his eyes closed.
William: And I assure you, this time I will not let you take it from me. Because this time I'm not only after him, but I'm after you..."
It was Vincent from the beginning. It was he who always helped William to escape before the police came to arrest him. No matter how much the CIA tried to destroy his headquarters and confiscate his weapons, William always seemed undisturbed by all of this. And on the day William escaped, Vincent laid all the blame on Noah, but he was the one who planned everything.
Noah became very angry. He walked over to Vincent and grabbed his collar.
"Then why do you always accuse me of running away when I'm doing nothing?"
Vincent growled with clenched jaws which made him chuckle hoarsely.
"Because I was the one who helped William escape that day"
Noah looked at him in disbelief.
"WHAT?"
Vincent nodded and pushed him back, causing Noah to stumble backwards.
"Ck ln... Are you that stupid, Agent? Did you never try to ponder how someone could break into the CIA's security so tightly? How could William escape so easily? It's all because I planned it. I got William out of the clutches of the CIA. I've appointed Jennifer to protect Emma. You think Jennifer works for you? Honey, he works not for you but for William. Jennie was the one who told him about Emma's whereabouts. Katherine was the one who told William every detail of yours so that we could keep an eye on your every move and in the meantime make you lie that we were all working for you. We're with you. Besides, I've been stopping you for two years to catch William until he recovers, until he stabilizes and regains his position. I deliberately made you suspect by everyone that all the officers thought that you were the one helping William. And as for the dismissal order, I framed you for helping a criminal get you kicked out of the CIA. It was all me from the beginning, Noah Miller"
Noah is shocked, hurt and fooled. His gaze fell to the floor as he was stunned to hear all this.
"So, this was all planned from the beginning?"
"Yes, my friend," William grinned.
Noah looked at William and then Vincent.
"You two are acting in front of everyone"
Vincent nodded.
Suddenly Noah felt a stinging pain in his neck. He turned around and saw William standing beside him holding a syringe in his hand. Noah looked at her in fear but soon his eyelids became heavy and his vision became blurred. He fell to the floor and fainted. Vincent looked at William in shock.
"What have you done?"
William looked at her with sharp eyes.
"I don't have all day, I have to go too. Take him away," he snapped.
Vincent looked at him and nodded. He then calls his men and they take the unconscious Noah to a CIA cell.
"I'm glad you got your Emma back" Vincent said, grinning at William. William also returned Vincent's grin and the two of them then hugged each other.
"alright. Have you solved all the cases that have happened to me?"
Vincent nodded.
"Yes, you can go back to America now. Everything is under control. But there's still some paperwork you need to sign"
"What letters? I've signed everything" William said as he looked at Vincent with raised eyebrows.
"T-No... The letters are related to the orphanage. You have to go to Chicago" Vincent replied with a nervous smile at him.
William looked at her suspiciously but still nodded.
"All right, I'm going. Thank you, by the way"
"It's okay. Katherine will accompany you. See you around Gangsta. I hope you've stopped all illegal activities" Vincent said.
"Yes. I've transferred all the money to Emma's orphanage"
Yes, William has donated all the money he earned from the deal he made with Black Lucifer to the orphanage he opened in Chicago. William even named the orphanage Emma because he always wanted to do that for her. Vincent has helped him in all this.
Vincent is very impressed with William because he has stopped doing all illegal things and is now working for the welfare of the community.
"I hope you stay like this. And take care of Emma," Vincent spoke, his tone slightly lowered while his eyes turned darker.
William frowned slightly at the sudden change in his attitude, but still nodded and smiled.
"I'm going to go now"
He then put on his glasses and finally left.

9:00 nights
THE P.O.V. Emma
I was in the library reading a book. William is still in the United States. He told me that he was busy with something and wanted to surprise me. I was so happy because I was too excited about the prize.
Suddenly, I felt someone behind me. I turned around and saw Sebastian.
"Yes Seb, you need something"
She smiled and ruffled my hair.
"No Princess, I just came here to check on you"
I returned his smile and nodded.
"All right then let's go inside. Let's go into the living room"
He's nodding. We both started to leave but suddenly I was hit with something on the head. I fell to the floor and fainted.
End of P.O.V. Emma
As soon as Emma fell, Sebastian picked her up. She carried him and took Emma out of the house from the backyard. He put Emma in his car and put a seatbelt on.
Sebastian then pressed down on his microphone and spoke in a deep voice.
"He was unconscious. I'll take him. Don't try to touch it."
With that the call ends from there.
~ Jump time
Sebastian takes Emma into an abandoned building. He sat her down on the chair and turned around to see a tall brunette girl sitting behind him.
"I've brought him. Now leave him"
The man laughed and turned around.
"Of course, you can take him. I'm not interested in him anyway. And I've got my pay."
Sebastian looked at her with disdain and turned his gaze to Emma.
His eyes glazed over as he watched the innocent girl fall asleep on the chair.
"Listen, she's like a sister to me. Don't try to hurt her."
The man nodded.
"You can go now."
Sebastian glared at her. He then called out to the men and took the wounded Elijah with them.
The man leaned over and looked at Emma. He caressed her face and kissed her cheek gently.
" I've waited so long. Now I won't wait anymore. You drove me crazy the first day I saw you. But now we're going to be together. You'll forget that son of a bitch and move on with me. You are mine and you belong only ..............
